Curious what everyone got for Christmas! Get any cool beekeeping stuff?My folks bought me a Mannlake 3 frame extractor!!!!!! Had to brag.My wife got me a complete home brewing setup and all the supplies to make my first batch of mead (including honey from the brewing company to practice on so I don't screw up our honey).Got a copy of the book, "Letters from the Hive" which looks really neat and a copy of "The Dangerous Book for Boys" which really brings back some great memories.Also got a Heil Proset Plus headset for my HF Ham radio station.I think I made out like a bandit! Whooo Hooo!!!

"My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste" - Proverbs 24:13

Got two turntables and a microphone... :-D My honey got me a little sign that reads fresh honey, that you hang on the wall. Good presentation thingy. A lamp, a few shirts, a few re-gifters, but not bad, had a great Christmas, can't complain. Steve, my tomtom has proven to be invaluable.

I got the Kitchenaid mixer I've wanted for years. My hands are my weak spot, the arthritis is getting to them, and I bake a lot, so this will save the aches that come with baking things like bread and Christmas cookies.

i got grandkids for the afternoon and overnight and snow! what more could you ask for? :-D

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called the government. They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

LOL, you all got some really cool stuff for Christmas! One of the the gifts my daughter bought me was the new "Organic Bee Keeping Book" look pretty good...DH bought me some new Henkle knives...I hosted a sit down dinner for 14...it took 2 hours to wash all the plates and glassware etc..now I am off to work to help folks have surgery the days after Christmas!

Ken, one lucky dude, that hivelifter looks cool, and look at the white hive and the guys with the white clean suite and the other dude, do they come with the hive lifter, hee, hee, :-D

Nice to see that everyone got wonderful stuff they wanted/needed. Ann, you will love your KitchenAid, it will save you so much pain by doing the work for you. Happy day.

I got a mini fridge for our bedroom, it is good it has a freezer and crisper and lots of place to store stuff that I don't want kids to eat all up. We had a real small one, but it just didn't hold enough, hee, hee. Also got a water barometer, it is cool, hard to describe, a wall plaque of the bombus ferviduz (sp), kind of bronzey looking and a bumblee bee light, where the bum lights up, cool, bronzey looking too, a yoga mat, and a bunch of little things.

Our fridge packed it in last week so we had to go and buy a new one. Decided to go stainless steel, all our other appliances are white. Let me tell you one thing, stainless steel looks horrible (in my eyes) when it has to match up with white. So the next thing was we decided to replace all the appliances with stainless steel (the pay forever plan). So that was my Husband's and my gifts for the next 6 years (hee, hee). They were all installed before company on Christmas day, that was a mess and a half, eeks!!!!

A wonderful celebration with lots and lots of family, another wonderful gift, better than all the rest. Beautiful and wonderful day, Cindi

I got a few things for Christmas. Most not worth mentioning. The best part was having 5 or 6 grandchildren here to open a mountain of presents. 1/2 the livingroom was stacked almost to the ceiling with presents, 90% of which were for the grandkids. I got a hand cross-stitched framed picture of a raccoon (I collect raccoon nick-nacks because I use to have one for a pet) from my daughter Jodi, from her fiance I got a new vanity for the bathroom (he's a cabinet maker by trade).

For my wife, Who claimed she already had everything she ever wanted, I got 3 perfectly useless but entertaining gifts. A weather station, bird feeders and humming bird feeders. I've now turned her kitchen window into a ongoing scene of wildlife and current weather information.

Life is a school. What have you learned? :brian: The greatest danger to our society is apathy, vote in every election!
